Spence's departure from Tottenham comes after he played in all eight games for England at the 2026 World Cup, including the semifinal loss to Argentina and the third-place playoff win over France. He made 85 appearances for the Premier League club, with the team's Europa League triumph standing out as the highlight of his time in north London.
Spence's value increased significantly as a result of his impressive performance during the 2026 World Cup, which led to Tottenham deciding to cash in on the fullback. The Englishman spent six months on loan at Genoa in 2024 and made his England debut in September 2025, an achievement that triggered a £1m payment to his former club Middlesbrough.
Spence's move to Inter Milan comes hours after Tottenham confirmed that club captain Cristian Romero had completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid. The fullback is set to replace Denzel Dumfries, who made the move to Real Madrid earlier this summer.
